Facility Inspections
In addition to being a respectable facility overall, this facility also excelled in the category of inspections, where it earned a grade of A. Few facilities performed better in this area. Inspection grades are tied to several pieces of information found on the a nursing home's recent inspection reports. Nursing homes that receive favorable grades in this category typically have very few deficiencies on their reports. Most importantly, these places generally do not have any severe deficiencies which are associated with risks to patient safety. This facility was hit with 4 deficiencies on its inspection report, but none of the deficiencies were considered to be severe. This tells you that the inspectors didn't consider any of the deficiencies to create an imminent threat to resident safety or health. Finally, this facility had no substantiated complaints this year from residents, which is an excellent sign.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our more favorable scores. For long-term care residents, the nursing home's primary goal is to maintain patients' quality of life and keep them safe. Once we looked at the volume of care provided by aids and other staff, we then analyzed the facility's vaccination data. This nursing home vaccinated 90.93656 percent of its residents against pneumonia, which happens to be a bit lower than we anticipated but still a decent percentage. Finally, this facility was able to limit hospitalizations. With only 1.06 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, this facility had less hospitalizations than most nursing homes.
Short-term Care Quality
The third area we graded was short-term care. In that category, we gave this nursing home a solid grade of B-. In calculating these short-term care scores, we quantify the facility's skilled nursing services, including those performed by registered nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists and other types of therapists. The purpose is to formulate a barometer for comparing the rehabilitation services of different nursing homes. One of this nursing home's strength is that it offers more hours of physical therapy per week to its residents. Finally, we assessed the number of residents who ultimately returned home from this facility. In addition to performing well in the area of physical therapy hours, we found that it also fared well in this area with 58.1 percent of its residents returning home.
Nurse Quality
The final category we scored was nursing, which ended up being this nursing home's least impressive area. We awarded this facility a grade of D in this category. Unfortunately, this category pulled down the facility's overall grade to a certain degree. Nursing scores are based in large part on quantity of nursing care available. This facility provided 3.4 hours of nursing care per resident per day. This is below the national average. On top of its below average nursing hours, this nursing home earned suboptimal marks in several of the quality-based measures we considered in determining our nursing scores. We found that more of this place's residents experienced falls which led to serious injury. We would argue that many falls could likely be prevented with better nursing care. This statistic contributed to this place receiving a poor nursing rating.
